Biting Babies Calmed With Bath Tubs?

Just about every child has bit but whether or not they should be classified as a biter is another thing.  There have been studies that were done that show about half of children attending daycares have been bitten three times per year.  So toddlers biting is in fact a very common thing.  It may be a good thing to try bathing them in baby bath tubs to give their attention to this bad habit a break.

Biting happens in many stages.  The first is when the teeth start to come out of the gums. At this time, try putting them in baby bath tubs to soothe and relieve them.  This is when your toddler will bite to make their gums feel better.  This kind of biting will be soothed from biting a rattle or a teething ring.  If while breastfeeding your baby tries to bite, remove your baby and set them down in a safe spot.  At this time when your baby gets a negative response they will stop biting soon.

About the time that your toddler has their first birthday is when they have their second stage of biting.  Don't buy them a ton of stuff and spoil them.  They may bite to show their excitement.  When this stage that they are going through your toddler may try to bite you be certain that your respond firmly each and every time and the biting should stop.  At the age of two year your toddler will probably start to bite again.  Your toddler bites at this time to show that they want to be independent.  If your toddler bites at this stage be certain that you give your child a time out and make sure that you explain that being bitten hurts.  It is time to teach your child the commutation skills that they are probley lacking.  When your toddler has the skills that are needed the biting should stop.

If your toddler is going through a biting stage make certain that you closely watch them.  The best thing to do at this stage is to acknowledge the good behaviour.  Another good tip is to offer something for your toddler to chew on.  If you have caught your toddler biting the respond with a firm voice and place your toddler on a time out.
